 Amicii URSS

Amicii URSS (Romanian for "[The] Friends of the Soviet Union"; , occasionally known as "Prietenii URSS" (), which carries the same meaning) was a cultural association in interwar Romania, uniting left-wing and anti-fascist intellectuals who advocated a "détente" between their country and Joseph Stalin's Soviet Union (at a time when Greater Romania, which included Bessarabia and all of Bukovina, was engaged in a diplomatic conflict with the Soviets).Created in the spring of 1934 by Petre Constantinescu-Iași, an activist of the previously outlawed Romanian Communist Party (PCR or PCdR), the society took its inspiration from the French "Amis de l'URSS" and from the worldwide network (led by Henri Barbusse and Clara Zetkin).
